Can you furnish a better story for this photo for me? HERE is the pingback to include with your post to make sure we all see it.

Short Short Story

No place for a nap could be crasser or baser.
It’s clear that that beer was simply a chaser.
Overly tired, three sheets to the wind,
I think that this fellow is overly ginned!

About lifelessons

My blog, which started out to be about overcoming grief, quickly grew into a blog about celebrating life. I post daily: poems, photographs, essays or stories. I've lived in countries all around the globe but have finally come to rest in Mexico, where I've lived since 2001. My books may be found on Amazon in Kindle and print format, my art in local Ajijic galleries. Hope to see you at my blog.

    The old guys gathered together as they always do in their favourite afternoon meeting spot. Then they noticed the two younger guys stretched out on the benches. Bill couldn’t help judging—”Call themselves men; they can’t hold down a job, and they can’t hold down a few cans of beer!”

    “Joe? Naw, he ain’t here. You’ll have to come back in a couple weeks. See, every six months he travels to the main office to pick up his pay, and then straight on to Mexico. We don’t know what all he does while he’s there, but he always comes back skinnier than he went, sometimes with a black eye or two, li’l bit wobbly, an’ if I didn’t know better I’d say he was already broke. Ready to work again, anyway. Have to admit he goes kinda creaky the first day or three, but by the end of that week he’s always back to bein’ the same ol’ Joe. Y’ know how he is… Yep, th’ ol’ bunkhouse jus’ isn’t the same without ‘im, all the boys say. Yep, give it about till the middle a’ next month an’ come on back. We’ll kill a hawg an’ get Able to crack one a’ his barrels…”
